Shadow 3D AI Display Font Generator

Shadow 3D is a bold flat letter with a long extruded shadow cast consistently to the below-right at a fixed 30-40% depth, with a clean face-to-shadow edge and a unified vanishing point. It is the register of vintage Hollywood posters, 1960s retro graphics and bold pop-art composition.

There is no installable file. You type your text and the generator builds the flat faces and offset shadows fitted to your actual shapes, and returns a high-resolution image.

Retro and pop-art posters, film and event titles, bold branding and headlines, music and album art, signage, packaging. Set it large and short so the depth reads cleanly.

Because the brain assumes a single consistent light source, and a uniform dark shape offset the same way behind every letter can only mean one thing: the letters are standing forward and casting shadows onto a surface behind them. Your visual system reads depth from shadows automatically — an object lifted off a background throws a shadow to one side, and the size and direction of that shadow tell you how far forward it sits. Give every letter the same shadow, at the same angle and the same depth, and the eye interprets the whole word as raised off the page at a uniform height, lit from one direction. The consistency is what makes it work: if the shadows pointed different ways or sat at different depths, the light would make no sense and the dark shapes would just read as a second colour stuck to the letters. Keep them unified and the flat letters lift into space.
